The international fashion exhibition Central Asia Fashion is preparing for the 31st season. The largest professional event in the Central Asia region will be held in Almaty, from March 13 to 15, 2023
In just one season, the event is attended by more than 6,000 fashion industry professionals: buyers, owners and landlords of fashion businesses, representatives of distributor networks, managers of fashion stores, spokespeople of SRC, wholesalers and retailers. Every season, among the visitors and special guests of the exhibition are delegations of Associations and Chambers of Industry of the CAF member countries.
For 15 years, CAF has been the foundation of business activity in Central Asia, even in the most unstable and hard times for industry and the economy.
Despite the current geopolitical difficulties, the entry list of the exhibition participants does not stop surprising with its diversity. So this Spring-2023 season, in addition to Turkish, Russian, Italian, and Greek fashion brands, a large collective cluster of manufacturers from Uzbekistan and Udmurtia will present fashion novelties in Almaty.
«It is not the first season that we have seen a heighten interest in Kazakhstan, and we expect further growth of exhibitors, both large and long-established business and buyers, and newcomers,” notes Milena Ershova, General Producer and head of the Central Asia Fashion business program. – Kazakhstan has firmly established itself in the image of a new business hub. The country is in a unique period of increased global attention and fantastic opportunities. We see that the fashion business of Kazakhstan has already passed the stage of “economic shock”, has rebuilt its supply routes and is now actively looking for new opportunities, trying to apply more refined strategies and much bolder “testing” new partners».
Meanwhile, Central Asia Fashion is one of the key platforms for keen discussions and panel sessions of retail market experts: the hottest topics and sticking point are raised at the business conference of the CAF exhibition.
